The Crazy Scientist

Julie Ann Ballard

This zany piece depicts a scientist wildly whirling about his lab concocting crazy chemicals. Sixteenth notes and eighth notes are used throughout this A minor piece that is marked with a "fast and furious" tempo. The B section puts both hands in the treble clef, and the cluster at the end makes it evident that something just exploded! Students will love it, and teachers will too! Could be programmed for auditions or recitals. Good preparatory piece for more advanced literature.
